Tommy,
Maybe you could fasten a thermocouple next to the sensor and compare the
readings. I wired my EM-2 with 3 EGT's and 4 CHT
thermocouples. The extra CHT TC can be used for lots of things,
including checking the accuracy of the other temp sensors.

Interesting , Mark! I have always thought my coolant was
reading 10-12 degrees too high. I can t remember whether I used
tape there or not, but the cowl is coming off again.

I was surfing the egauges.com
site this morning and ran across a FAQ that I found interesting in light
of some of the postings concerning high oil/water temps. Could the
use of teflon tape possibly be the real problem?
Mark S.
Should I use sealant or Teflon tape on the threads
of my sender? Do not use
sealant (including Teflon tape or plumbers pipe dope) on the threads of
temperature or pressure senders. This will not allow the sender to
properly ground itself to the engine and
will cause the temperature to
register high and the pressure to register low. This
does not include floating ground senders which include a second terminal
specifically for grounding.
